They may take a break for a short while but can't wait to keep repeating their same old behaviors over and over.

I often wonder what sick pleasure people get from name calling and dehumanizing others. Some folks just can't seem to help themselves from going back to those well-worn dysfunctional behaviors.



"Apart from the basic fact that the community of collectivism can extend only as far as the unity of purpose of the individuals exists or can be created, several contributory factors strengthen the tendency of collectivism to become particularist and exclusive. Of these, one of the most important is that the desire of the individual to identify himself with a group is very frequently the result of a feeling of inferiority and that therefore his want will be satisfied only if membership of the group confers some superiority over outsiders. ”

'Oath Keepers' Leader Arrested for Child Rape; Cops Find Stolen Grenade Launcher In His House

We first noticed Marine Sgt. Charles Dyer, aka "July4Patriot," back in March, when we ran one of the first reports on the "Oath Keepers" bloc of the Tea Party movement -- an organization devoted to recruiting military and police-force veterans into a Patriot-movement belief system predicated on a series of paranoid conspiracy theories, especially the notion that the federal government intends to begin rounding up citizens and putting them in concentration camps.

Dyer played a prominent role in connecting the Oath Keepers to the Tea Party movement, speaking at a July 4 Tea Party rally in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. And he's been involved in organizing militia "maneuvers" in Oklahoma.

Dyer cropped up again in the news -- this time in the police blotter for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl:

An ex-military man has been arrested on charges of rape of a child and forcible sodomy.

Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Stephens County Sheriff�s deputies, said Sheriff Wayne McKinney. Dyer served in the United States Marines in Iraq.

Oh, and guess what police found when they searched his home:

During the search the sheriff�s deputies noted several firearms and a device believed to be a Colt M-203, 40-millimeter grenade launcher, a complaint filed in the United States District Court of Western Oklahoma by Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Special Agent Brett Williams said.

As the story from KAUZ-TV notes, Dyer had a history of making bizarre claims in his videos -- as well as violent fears of being arrested.

"We come home and those bastards want to talk about how we�re domestic terrorists and a threat to this country. It makes me so angry," said Charles Dyer, who has been accused of committing rape.

... More incriminating evidence against Dyer has surfaced in a YouTube video. The video shows Dyer, a former U.S. Marine, talking proudly about domestic terrorism. "Join the military", said Dyer. "Depends on what you want to do with it. Me? I'm going to use my training and become one of those domestic terrorists that you're so afraid of from the DHS reports."

... I'm certainly not going to be hiding from my command anymore. I'm not hiding from ATF. Not hiding from FBI. Any organization. If they want to come get me I'm not going to be afraid," Dyer said.

"Patriots, we are not overpowered. If we united under one banner and fight for our children's liberity and the constitution, our resolve is invincible to any standing army," Dyer said.

“It's "brainwashing" when liberals insist/allow the state-run school system to do it, but I don't recall conservatives criticizing parents specifically for teaching them their values.”

“So um Marko you are okay with the PrezBO and Congress sticking your grandchildren with more debt than all previous Administrations in History?”

“Stop talking about the issues XL ... focus on the personal attacks.”

“That squirrel really makes it personal.

You're right, X.
The administration should have done nothing to stop Dubya's Depression and let the "market correct itself".

Shanty towns are so cool.”

“Real Quick Lusho...what difference (other than acclerating the Bushie Programs of failure) have we seen under the PrezBO? Financially...I mean sure the Payola switched from Bushies boys to Obamsters HOMIES..but what has been different?”

“Not even a professional Community organizer can keep up with the special interest lobbyist formed groups that roam the streets and public places with tea bags and signs.
it's the sixties all over again except this time the 'Corporate Side' is doing the marching. They sure weren't asleep back then, eh?”

Congress poll is Capitol hell

Comments: 42
Voters' support for incumbents hits historic low

By MAGGIE HABERMAN

Just when you thought Congress couldn't reach a new low, it did.

Only a third of US voters think their Congress members have earned the right to get sent back next year -- a record-low number, a poll released yesterday shows.

Thirty-four percent of voters queried think members of the House and the Senate ought to be re-elected -- while an astonishing 63 percent were in favor of throwing the bums out, the new CNN poll showed.

That's the worst performance for Congress in the history of the network's polling -- the latest red flag for the floundering Democratic leadership as it heads into an anti-incumbent voter wave just eight months before the midterm elections.


"This is not a good year to be an incumbent, regardless of which party you belong to," CNN polling director Keating Holland said.

"Voters seem equally angry at both Republicans and Democrats this year."

And the electorate is unsettled all around. Forty-five percent of the voters say they will back a Democrat in their congressional district, and 47 percent say they will go for the Republican -- whoever that may be in either case.

When it comes just to the House of Representatives, just 51 percent of people believe the member for their district deserves to get re-elected, while 44 percent are giving their reps a thumbs-down, according to the survey.

The numbers show no major party getting a strong advantage.

But Holland said that fact "may hurt the Democrats more because there are more Democratic incumbents."

He added: "It's a change from 2006, when voters concentrated their anger at GOP members of Congress."

On the question of whether current members of the House ought to be re-elected, the numbers are lower than in 1994, when Bill Clinton's presidency suffered mightily as Republicans took control of Congress in a 54-seat swing.

Right now, the Democrats hold a 255-178 edge in the House.

The Republicans are pressing to find challengers for almost any Democrat in marginal districts, given new impetus after Scott Brown's Senate victory for the GOP in Massachusetts.

President Obama isn't doing much to boost his party, either -- with his approval rating at 49 percent. Just 44 percent think he deserves to be re-elected.

The survey was taken from Friday through Monday of 1,023 people and had a 3-percentage- point margin of error.

Several members of Congress have expressed frustration over the partisan gridlock.

"People are almost in a parallel universe," Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said yesterday. "They are not getting a common set of facts and most of the people they talk to are those who agree with them."

“Clinton Plotting Tea Party Counterattack
by Capitol Confidential



Last week, former President Clinton was rushed to the hospital in New York for an emergency heart operation. Medical experts said the procedure was “relatively routine” and predicted Clinton would make a full recovery and be back to his regular schedule soon. To the public, at least, that schedule revolves chiefly around earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. In fact, some Clinton associates cited the work in Haiti as exacerbating his heart condition. Clinton money man, Terry MacAuliffe, even noted that Clinton’s Haiti work continued right up until the operation:

Democrat colleague Terry McAuliffe said Mr Clinton had participated in a conference call on earthquake relief efforts as he was wheeled into the operating theatre.

We’ll take Terry’s word on that. But, Big Government has learned of at least one other conference call/meeting around this time. A meeting of former Clintonistas and senior Democrat political operatives to coordinate a push-back to the burgeoning tea party movement. Consider it a Democrat party relief effort.

When tea party, 9/12 and townhall protests and rallies first erupted on the national scene, they were derided by national politicos as astroturf or a small fringe movement. Lefty journalists at MSNBC, CNN and elsewhere laughed away the movement with derogatory, pornographic references.

Then, Scott Brown won election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. No one is laughing anymore. In fact, Democrats are facing political annihilation this November. Not only do Democrats face the possibility of losing their congressional majorities, massive losses in state house races could jeopardize redistricting next year and set back the progressive agenda for at least a decade.

So, the Clinton Empire is planning to strike back.

Big Government has learned that Clintonistas are plotting a “push/pull” strategy. They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)

Big Government has also learned that James Carville will head up the effort.

Obviously, there is no love lost between Obama and the Clinton machine. It may at first seem odd that Clinton would rush to Obama’s defense, but the tea party movement poses a threat far beyond the immediate goals of the Obama Administration.

The tea party movement could evolve into a new political realignment, one founded on a belief in limited government and less government interference in the economy. The Progressive agenda, which has been painstakingly built up over the last three decades, could be left in tatters.

As the Clinton’s know, “politics ain’t beanbag.” Expect the counterattack soon. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.”

“Clinton was dealing with Haiti as he was wheeled into the OR...YEAH RIGHT...

Remember he and Shrillery dancing on the beach or the "D-Day in Normandy" crap....
(the cross of rocks where NO other rocks exist or the flag that was knocked over for him to set up)

NAH I just don't see him doing that for real.”
